McGrady's Top 10 Plays: The Rivalry that Could've Been

[gko2408]

To the only other perimeter player that could hang with Kobe. Cheers T-Mac.

 

[antidope]

One of the most fun players to watch in the early-mid 2000s if not THE most exciting player
I'll never forget that Spurs game, being a Spurs fan myself that is embedded in my brain forever

T-Mac

my favorite player during my high school days

Please T-Mac was NEVER in the same class with Kobe and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath.

T-Mac in his prime before his injuries was just a flashy shooter who scored a lot.

He did not have the same complete game like Kobe where Kobe could shut guys down on defense. T-Mac has never been known as a defensive player.

Also offensively Kobe's post up game, mid range game are better than T-Mac's.
And were talking about a guy who could never lead any of his teams out of the 1st round.

i strongly believe if tmac was healthy he would have won 5+ straight scoring titles and definitely 1 MVP. Thats all he would have won though. Now if Yao was healthy, thats a different story.

O RLY?

What was T-Mac known as in Toronto? Don't worry, I'll wait.

That's 32/6.5/5.5 season he had in 02-03. My lawd

That's unfair to say. Kobe was a great defensive player not too long ago, but his first team all defensive nod last season was a complete joke.  He is still a good defender, but shouldn't even be third team all defensive.  

At Kobe even being brought up in the thread though.  

It's a shame how T-Macs career went down the drain. I still think the league contenders (MIA, CHI, LAL, SA, OKC, etc) should definitely be considering signing him in the offseason for the vet min.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Kobe is better, but healthy T-Mac in orlando was VERY close. 

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

at the Lebron reaction on the Okur poster

the dunk that ended Shawn Bradley's career

 

[Bonafide]

Best player ever.
